Signs on 4th south-Group 1



Our specific medium that we researched were the many signs that line 4th south. The signs on 4th are very typical signs that you can find pretty much anywhere. The only difference was that there are so many of them here, one nearly every 30 feet. The signs are tall and they usually feature bright colors so that the visibility is heightened for drivers. We noticed as we walked east up 4th that the signs that lined the street were more geared toward those who are driving, our angle of the signs was skewed because of how tall they are.


The signs that we saw all centered around the many businesses that reside on 4th whether it was a store, fast food place, gas station, or bank. This tells us that 4th south is a major business area designed for those who work downtown. Signs are an essential part to any town as they direct us where to go and tell us where various places can be found. Anybody who can read can utilize signs for their personal gain.

Signs have been a part of every single walk about we have done so far, yet we never realized what an important role it plays. Signs are unique and usually offer a specific brand name, another way recognition of businesses are enhanced. Signs can be intrepreted any which way you want, but they all have one goal: to get you interested in the business it features. Oftentimes overlooked, signs are a crucial part to any community.
